I am trying to trace my birth mother, who is named as Catherine (Ena) Theresa Durack, on my original birth certificate. She was born on the 6 October 1946 in Tipperary.

I was born on the 19 March 1969 and named Dierdre Noreen Durack at the Central Middlesex Hospital in Park Royal in the London Borough of Brent.

At the time of my birth, Catherine was living at 81 Walm Lane, Willesden Green, London, NW2 and was working as a cinema supervisor in the Odeon Cinema in St Martinís Lane (where she met my birth father). Catherine was 5ft with grey eyes and brown hair.

I was put up for adoption with the Crusade of Rescue in Ladbroke Grove.

Catherine has three sisters. Two of them are called Noreen and Hanora and were living in the UK at the time of my birth. One was a nurse and one was a secretary. Catherine also has a brother who was an agricultural instructor.

I am also trying to find my birth father, called Frank Beaty (or Beatty) who was born around 1942 in Wexford, Ireland. He has fair hair and blue eyes and was about 5ft 6".

In 1969 he was living at 11 Torbay Road, Kilburn, London, NW6 and worked in the Odeon Cinema in St Martin's Lane, before leaving to either become or continue working as a mechanic.

I believe he had another daughter called Catherine who was born in or around 1966.
